• Household cooking salt is - in chemical terms – sodium chloride (NaCl). Chloride can cause
chloride pitting when the salt is used incorrectly. If the salt added to the food being cooked
remains in the water at the base of the vessel for a long time (this is the case if the liquid in
the pot is too cold and the salt can, therefore, not dissolve quickly enough), so-called local
elements are formed at the base of the vessel which cause the pitting. Therefore, please only
add salt to boiling water or hot food.
• Blue or colourful discolorations on stainless steel vessels occur due to, during or after coo-
king or washing processes. Stainless steel tends to form a passive layer that is invisible to the
human eye to protect against external „attacks“. It develops when magnesium and silicate
ions and oxygen combine with one another (these elements are naturally available in food
and tap water). Under certain conditions, this layer that is neither harmful to health, nor
affects the corrosion protection or the serviceability of the vessel, may be become visible – it
